Yun Huaying took the food out of the pot and asked her, "Xiaolin, have you peeled the garlic?"
"Is this enough?" Han Lin held the bowl and showed it to her.
"That's enough."
Yun Huaying also wanted to make a dish she really liked. Han Zheng had just bought enough ingredients that morning, so he assigned him a task: "Chop all the garlic into a paste. Be quick."
Han Zheng's knife skills are impeccable. He holds the knife with both hands and chops non-stop. In no time, he has chopped half a bowl of garlic.
Li Suyao quickly returned to her room to change her clothes, and ran over to watch her cook. The meal she had at the Yun family last night was so unforgettable that she didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch today. She brought the braised food that the Yun family had packed for them last night to the office and let her colleagues taste the delicious food as well.
"Xiao Lin, come here, I will teach you another dish of garlic vermicelli and clams." Yun Huaying continued to teach cooking skills.
Han Lin immediately washed her hands and came over, "Huaying, you teach me verbally and I'll do it myself. This way I can learn faster."
Seeing that the two of them were getting along so well, Han Zheng's face was full of smiles. He immediately made room for himself and even pushed his mother over. "Mom, with your talent, you should look closer. Being too far away will affect your brain's ability to receive signals."
"Ha ha!"
Han Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yun Huaying was originally in a good mood, with a slight smile on her face, but now she was amused by him and her smile deepened.
"Get lost." Li Suyao slapped him.
Han Lin was tickled by her second brother and couldn't stop laughing. Seeing her mother approaching, she simply gave up her seat to her and said, "Mom, you can cook this dish. With Huaying here, we don't need to worry about you making mistakes."
Li Suyao was eager to try and asked with a smile, "Huaying, is this dish difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's very simple." Yun Huaying smiled brightly, "Auntie, wash your hands and I'll teach you."
"OK."
Li Suyao turned around and washed her hands by the pool, put on the apron her daughter had taken down, picked up the spatula, and started working as soon as she received the order.
"Put oil in the pot. When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry. Add a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of soy sauce, and a little bit of sugar."
This step was very simple, and Li Suyao knew how to do it. When the minced garlic was fragrant and slightly yellow, Yun Huaying called out, "It's done. Serve it out and put it in a bowl."
"Ah? Do you want to eat fried lard with minced garlic?" Li Suyao and Han Lin, mother and daughter, had the same expression.
"No, it's not over yet." Yun Huaying smiled.
Han Zheng, who was trying to suppress his laughter, reminded them, "Mom, Xiaolin, Huaying already mentioned the name of the dish: garlic vermicelli and clams. Now there's only garlic."
"Oh, that's right." Li Suyao had just forgotten and quickly scooped out the fried garlic paste from the pot.
Yun Huaying had already asked Han Zheng to prepare a clay pot and bowl, and the side dishes were also ready. After she finished, she continued to teach, "Spread these cabbages on the bottom layer."
“Spread the soaked vermicelli evenly on the cabbage.”
"Add another layer of soaked tofu."
"Put on the sixtieth armor. There are not many of them. Put them on the left."
"On the right side are fresh shrimps, neatly arranged one by one."
"Yes, that's it. The presentation is beautiful."
"Pour the fried lard mixed with minced garlic evenly on top."
"Add some more water, not too much, and pour it over the sides."
After Li Suyao finished cooking according to her instructions, Yun Huaying casually picked up the lid beside it, put it on, and then brought it to the coal stove next to it. "Just put it on the stove and simmer it slowly. It will be ready for about 15 minutes."
“This dish is simple, I’ve learned it.”
Li Suyao had just memorized the steps carefully. They were very simple and she had memorized them all in her head. Finally, she had a dish that she could show off in her life.
The kitchen was still busy preparing the remaining two dishes. Han Zhangping also came back from get off work. His car was being used by his son today, and after get off work he asked Zhao, the political commissar next door, to give him a ride back.
As soon as Han Zhangping got out of the car, his enthusiastic neighbors immediately congratulated him: "Commander Han, congratulations on your family's happy event."
"Hmm?" Han Zhangping was stunned. "What good news is coming?"
"Your son Han Zheng brought you a daughter-in-law, didn't you know?" a quick-witted woman asked. Before he could reply, she added, "That's not right. The Commander's wife said you met with the girl's parents last night and invited them to your home today."
Han Zhangping understood now and smiled: "The two children are still in contact and haven't officially started dating yet. It's still a long way from getting married."
When Political Commissar Zhao, who was standing by the car, heard that Han Zheng had good news, he glared at Han Zhangping and said, "Old buddy, you're being disingenuous! Zhengzi has a girlfriend he likes and brought her home, and you didn't even tell me."
"Old Zhao, the girl Zhengzi likes is super beautiful. No one in our military art troupe can compare to her." Mrs. Zhao came out when the car stopped and immediately told the man the good news with a smile.
"real?"
Political Commissar Zhao acted faster than he spoke, and walked towards the Han family as he spoke, "I'm going to see how high the standards of that brat Han Zheng are."
"Grandpa, I want to go too." Political Commissar Zhao's grandchildren immediately followed.
With Political Commissar Zhao leading the way, the other neighbors who had long wanted to rush to the Han family to see the beautiful female comrades followed in a swarm, and the owner Han Zhangping was left behind.
Li Suyao was sorting out the gifts on the dining table when she saw Political Commissar Zhao leading the way, followed by all the neighbors on both sides. She smiled and said, "Are they here to send me condolences?"
"What the hell are you thinking?"
Political Commissar Zhao rolled his eyes at her. They had a very good relationship and had known each other for more than 20 years, so they spoke more casually.
"Haha..." The neighbors behind all laughed.
Han Zheng came out of the kitchen and saw many people coming. He said with a smile, "Political Commissar Zhao, uncles and aunts, are you here to eat?"
"Get out of the way."
Political Commissar Zhao didn't see anyone in the living room, and he instinctively thought that someone was in the kitchen, so he pushed Han Zheng away and squeezed into the kitchen sideways.
Yun Huaying and Han Lin were about to come out when he suddenly rushed in and the two sides almost collided with each other.
"Political Commissar Zhao, what happened?" Han Lin spoke first.
Political Commissar Zhao didn't look at her. His gaze fell on Yun Huaying, his eyes shining. He said to Han Zheng behind him: "Han Zheng, you have good taste, you little brat. How did you get so lucky to find such a beautiful fairy?"
Han Zheng, with a look of pride and arrogance, turned around and squeezed in to introduce Yun Huaying: "Huaying, this is Political Commissar Zhao from the Jinling Military Region."
"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao!" Yun Huaying extended her hand.
Political Commissar Zhao shook her hand and asked with a smile, "Little comrade, is your last name Hua?"
"No, my last name is Yun, Yun Huaying."
"How old are you?" Political Commissar Zhao asked again.
"I'm 18 now."
Seeing them crowded in the kitchen chatting, Li Suyao called out from outside: "Old Zhao, come outside to talk. The smell of cooking fumes in the kitchen is choking. Zhengzi, you and Huaying come outside to the living room."
